root planing

TechnicalRegister
The deep cleaning of the root surfaces beneath the gum to remove calculus and diseased cementum in periodontal treatment.
Because the pockets are deep, we'll carry out root planing under local anaesthetic over two visits.
Rarity runs from 0 (a word everyone knows) to 100 (almost never seen outside specialist or literary writing). Level is the word's real difficulty on the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2.
